MS Word 2010 Question


Question

I'm fairly new to the whole MS office thing, but I have a file that needs the first word in each line to be capitalized. Now the grammar checker correctly id's the items in need of change, but the file is 109 pages long! Is there a way to automate the whole process, or must I go line by line?

You could use VBScript, which supports object-oriented-programming to allow you to access the Microsoft Word control.

I remember I wrote this script, back when I focused mainly on VBScript coding (my first programming language that I learned), that searches through Word Documents and looks for a certain keyword to replace. I'll have to dig it up...

word does this automatically. In a Microsoft Word document after a hard return, a period, or a semi-colon, the first letter of the first word in the sentence (or line) is automatically capitalized.

Have it autocorrect the entire document.

What you need to do is apply the Sentence Case (button looks like 'Aa') option to the document, that will take care of 99% of the work for you then you need to run the grammar check on the bits it may have missed out.

Then go through and change any headings and such.
